you reference kieslowski's trilogy, but what's ironic is that both your red and white poems also blend images that remind me of his TEN COMMANDMENTS (not sure if that is the verbatim title; his interp of the, well, ten commandments); especially your "white cold"; I'm reminded of, THOU SHALT NOT COVET in the series (i think that's the one); where the father loses his son--his son goes skating on thin ice, testing dad's scientific theories, and drowns; it's amazing...it parallels your poem so well...gotta think more though about which one your red hell reminds me of...i'll letcha know...
